What depends on the firm
A call from a chartered accountant within one business day after the diagnostic, a document list tailored to your case, preparation of the incorporation file, registration of the deeds, filing with the national business register and start-of-business filings. Once the file is complete and the deeds are signed, registration is usually completed within a few working days.
Each step is tracked in your Mizen360 space, with any missing documents clearly identified.
What does not
The bank: opening the account, depositing the capital and, for non-resident shareholders, standard checks and receipt of the foreign-currency transfer. Legalisation or apostille of the power of attorney in your country of residence. Sector licences for regulated activities, often required before starting.
Add the investment declaration with the APII for industrial projects and some services and, for certain trading activities carried out with foreign capital, a prior authorisation.
How to save time
Settle the legal form, the company name and the capital split early; have the power of attorney executed with the right wording from the start; contact the bank before signing; check at once whether the activity is regulated. The files that drag on are almost always those where a document or a licence arrives late.
The online diagnostic surfaces these points in the first minute, and the chartered accountant gives you a realistic timeline on the call.
Frequently asked questions
Can a company be set up in Tunisia in a few days?
Registration can be completed within a few working days once the file is complete and signed. The overall timeline, from first contact to start-up, depends on the bank, any authorisations and the availability of the signatories.
Why does the bank take time?
Banks carry out identity checks, more extensive for non-resident shareholders, and must receive the capital before issuing their certificate. We tell you their requirements from the diagnostic onwards.
Does the APII declaration extend the timeline?
It adds a step for projects subject to it. We prepare it alongside the incorporation file to limit waiting time.
What if my activity is regulated?
The sector licence or authorisation often determines when you can start. It is usually the longest step; we build it into the timeline from the outset.
When can I start invoicing?
After registration and the start-of-business filings, once the tax identification number has been issued and, if your activity is subject to it, the connection to e-invoicing is in place.
